About The Alaska State Troopers (AST)
The Alaska State Troopers (AST) is the primary state law enforcement agency for Alaska. Here are some key details about the organization:
History and Formation
The Alaska State Troopers trace their origins back to 1953 when the Alaska Territorial Police was established. In 1967, during Governor Wally Hickel’s administration, the name was changed to the Alaska State Troopers.
Organization and Structure
The AST is officially known as the Division of Alaska State Troopers and is part of the Alaska Department of Public Safety. It is a full-service law enforcement agency handling both traffic and criminal law enforcement.
Jurisdiction and Responsibilities
The Alaska State Troopers have jurisdiction across all 663,268 square miles of Alaska, making them one of the most geographically extended law enforcement agencies in the United States. Their primary responsibilities include:
- Preserving the peace
- Enforcing the law
- Preventing and detecting crime
- Protecting life and property
Unlike many other states, Alaska has no county police or sheriffs, so the troopers also handle civil papers, mental health custody orders, and serve as the primary police force throughout most of rural Alaska.
Specialized Units
The AST includes several specialized units:
- Alaska Bureau of Investigation: Investigates major crimes and enforces laws against bootlegging and illegal drug distribution
- Judicial Services: Responsible for prisoner transports and providing security for Alaska courts
- Alaska Bureau of Highway Patrol: Focuses on highway safety
Training
Trooper recruits undergo training at the Alaska State Trooper Academy in Sitka, Alaska. The initial training program, known as the Alaska Law Enforcement Training (ALET), lasts approximately 16 weeks and covers a wide range of subjects including constitutional law, officer safety skills, and crime scene investigations.
